"The hunters of lights (iseggaden n Tafat in Berber) is an outstanding CD. Both the lyrics and the music are great! In this CD, Idir has molded traditional and modern music together beautifully. The songs celebrate everyday life, with its moments of happiness and sorrow, as illustrated by the songs Ay Alxir inu (birth of a child), Mimmi (my little one), Yelha Wurar (weddding songs), Baba-s (My father). Idir also sings about the struggle of his people (the Berber people) for their cultural and linguistic rights denied to them in their own country"
